    Looking at that screenshot, even though I’ve been a very happy KDE user for many years now, I do kinda miss the days when many Xfree86 desktop environments were influenced more by NeXTStep than Windows.

      Yeah, I long for window decorations and borders like that. Anyone know a good KDE 5 theme that does it?

          Commonality and Irixium are great.

            Gorgeous. I need someone to pick up Cantata.

          Thanks, I spent a couple of hours playing around with that. It didn’t work quite right but still I’ve got some glorious retro ugliness going on. A mishmash of CDE, Windows 2000 icons and KDE 5, it’s mental and I love it.

      The Motif look, what we are looking at here, is driven by the same UI guidelines that early Windows and OS/2 followed. You will notice a lot of similarity between them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
